Abstract: Paul Krugman, as usual, holds out for the
maximum tax penalty that can be forced upon the middle and upper classes. He
advised Obama [whoever he really is] to “So stand your ground, Mr. President,
and don’t give in to threats. No deal is better than a bad deal. The threat
here is that costs will rise very high and the small businesses, creators of
some 70% of new jobs, will not be able to continue and will fold. Krugman
thinks the threat is the absence of new and higher taxes while the facts
indicate that the threat is the massive and intractable debt we have now
pushing more than $16.,000,000,000, dollars and average load upon our citizens
in the upper half of no $250,000 since half our population does into pay taxes.
Krugman is willing to have us go into the Fiscal Cliff [that Krugman calls “disaster
capitalism”] than hold off on major tax hikes. Obviously, we have to stand firm
on both the tax increases and the debt ceiling. We must, or we will look like
Russia or Cuba. Krugman never believed that the debt was serious. Let us go
over the Fiscal Cliff as the alternative is worse.
The New York Times—aka the Walter Duranty Papers[1] [anagram is
appropriately ‘wet laundry rat’]—excels in propaganda[2] in all forms and hosts our
famous non-economist Paul Krugman’s essays us on why the low class vote Democrat and embrace the splendors of
socialism. Today we are informed that the Republicans offer a threat to our system
by not allowing massive new tax hikes to pollute our system like a rancid
tumor. The debt is not a real problem and the fiscal cliff is a mere invention
conjured in some Halloween skit designed to scare children.
Krugman gloats
showing no shame:
“To say the obvious:
Democrats won an amazing victory. Not only did they hold the White House
despite a still-troubled economy, in a year when their Senate majority was
supposed to be doomed, they actually added seats.”[3]--

“But one goal eluded
the victors. Even though preliminary estimates suggest that Democrats received
somewhat more votes than Republicans in Congressional elections, the G.O.P.
retains solid control of the House thanks to extreme gerrymandering by courts
and Republican-controlled state governments. And Representative John Boehner,
the speaker of the House, wasted no time in declaring that his party remains as
intransigent as ever, utterly opposed to any rise in tax rates even as it
whines about the size of the deficit.”-- Let’s Not Make a Deal
As is typical in the sleazy leftist arena of propaganda, we
hear that the enemy is responsible for every dent in the system and the
remaining obstacle is the House which was criminally constructed by the actions
of the courts and Republicans in the several states. We can always depend upon an
omission of the famous gerrymandering
to get districts for blacks. No mention of that. The House majority being of a
party not directly associated with the Democrats is a crime against humanity.
Decision
time:
“So President Obama has to make a decision, almost
immediately, about how to deal with continuing Republican obstruction. How far
should he go in accommodating the G.O.P.’s demands?”-- Let’s Not Make a Deal
“My
answer is, not far at all. Mr. Obama should hang tough, declaring himself
willing, if necessary, to hold his ground even at the cost of letting his opponents
inflict damage on a still-shaky economy. And this is definitely
no time to negotiate a “grand bargain” on the budget that snatches defeat from
the jaws of victory”-- Let’s Not Make a Deal [Emphasis is mine in all quotes unless specified otherwise]
This
slimy and clearly un-American effluvium is thusly repeated for emphasis:
“Nobody wants to see
that happen. Yet it may happen all the same, and Mr. Obama has to be willing to let it happen
if necessary.”-- Let’s Not Make a Deal
Well, that is a rather rare example of a krugmanical rant
that has few other interpretations. He proudly sounds like his mentor Walter
Duranty or perhaps Bernard Shaw or Marx.[5]
Krugman
sums up:
“Mr. Obama essentially surrendered in the face of similar
tactics at the end of 2010, extending low taxes on the rich for two more years.
He made significant concessions again in 2011, when Republicans threatened to
create financial chaos by refusing to raise the debt ceiling. And the current
potential crisis is the legacy of those past concessions.
And later
in the article:
So stand your ground, Mr. President, and don’t give in to
threats. No deal is better than a bad deal.“-- Let’s Not Make a Deal
We already have the corporate highest taxes in the world and
now we need more taxes and want Cap and Trade and more medical programs and
welfare and food stamps. We clearly need
to import more illegal aliens so they can vote for Democrats and we need to
give them citizenship and welfare and whatever else they want. The future is bleak now because the ‘poor’ have been promised money for
their votes and they will take any and all monies offered to them since they
don’t have to pay taxes so they clearly do not care.
This is the beginning of the end of freedom in the US. We
await chaos and an omnipotent government who will take our wealth by one means
or another. This is Leninism in its infancy.
Let us
go over the Fiscal Cliff as the alternative is worse.

Archives of Honor.
“He said that these people had to be
"liquidated or melted in the hot fire of exile and labor into the
proletarian mass". Duranty claimed that the Siberian labor camps were a
means of giving individuals a chance to rejoin Soviet society but also said that for those who could not accept the
system, "the
final fate of such enemies is death. "Duranty, though
describing the system as cruel, says he has "no brief for or against it,
nor any purpose save to try to tell the truth". He ends the article with
the claim that the brutal collectivization campaign which led to the famine was
motivated by the "hope or promise of a subsequent raising up" of
Asian-minded masses in the Soviet Union which only history could judge.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Duranty

[4] Vote was astronomical
for Obama in some Philadelphia wards
“In a city where President Obama received
more than 85 percent of the votes, in some places he received almost every one.
In 13 Philadelphia wards, Obama received 99 percent of the vote or more.
Those wards, many with
large African American populations, also swung heavily for Obama over John
McCain in 2008. But the difficult economy seemed destined to dampen that
enthusiasm four years later.
Not to worry. Ward
leaders and voters said they were just as motivated this time.”

These characteristics
were more than welcome when he joined the Fabian Society in 1884 as one of its
first members. Shaw was a freethinker, a supporter of women’s rights and an
advocate of income equality. He vividly fought for abolition of private property,
which can be seen in his essay “Economic”, part of the famous Fabian Essays
(1889), of which he was also an editor. Shaw’s pragmatic approach to politics
and his welfare views along with his talents made a very distinct contribution
to the society
